I haven't bought anything new, I need to use the stuff I have first... I tried the Elasta Qp Feels like silk gel today and it reminds me of the blue scurl gel.. the texture of the gel is similar to a slightly thinner pantene and it leaves that soapy stuff when applying it.. it made my hair shiny and defined, if i had a TA(tiny afo) I would love this stuff but for longer hair, it's a no go, no hold and although it defines the curl it doesn't separate them so my hair looks thick and undefined if that makes sense... not a product i could wear my hair down with, i tried and had to put it up.. my hair looks like a saggy shiny curly almost fro if that makes sense lol....

^^^ Nubian, you are dangerous to a PJ because you seem to like to research(the EO book) and I dabbled in mixing but I'm to cheap to buy all those products...lol. I do whip my shea and make my rosemary/sage rinse.

I used my Fructis stuff and Aloe Vera Gel today and I feel like I can feel the alcohol from the products in my hair right now. Like a drying effect. I think I got the wrong Aloe V. gel because mine is the Target brand and it says 'with pure aloe'. Besides the alcohol feeling, I like my bush today, it seems light and a little more pulled out.

I know, right?! It's like a runaway train that I can't seem to stop.:sad3: I had dreadlocks for 8 years and all I used was some shampoo and JC Nourish n Shine and called it a day. I had no idea there was this whole other side to natural hair.
And it's bad. I refuse to go broke buying hair products cause my husband would kill me - so instead, I used the money I had set aside to buy new summer clothes for the office. So now my hair will be fly, but I will be wearing clothes that are just a tad too tight....btw, is there some kind of support group or something on this site or somewhere you can go for help? :shock:

My PJism is kicking in so badly especially after seeing Empressri you utbe on curl junkie. The problem is I have a winning combo and i can get all products on the ground. i did get the CJ Rehab from the swap board. i really don't want to fall in love with a product that I can only buy online that is what happened with Qhemet and now when I order I buy like 3 or 4 jars at a time just to save on the overall shipping cost.

Hey! I am planning on ordering from Darcy's in a bit! Please tell me how the Tucuma Butter works!:toothy8: I have already tried her Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme and it is sooo nice. Smells really good and you don't have to use a lot and it's not greasy. I also got a sample of her Lemongrass Transitioning Creme. I use this at night and cover my hair with a satin cap and when I wake up my hair is super soft and fluffy.

i havent bought it again but i just used the garnier fructis instant melting conditioner and i must say that it put HH to shame!!!

:cheers:

I saw that you said this in another post and I will have to try this on my next conditioner run. HE products are quickly becoming my Holy Grail Conditioners. I even found a way to use the hydralicious to my liking.

Friday, I bought amla, brahmi, and henna powders from the Indian store -- doing the amla thing now.

Today, I went ahead and bought Qhemet's Amla Oil Pomade and Honeybush Tea Gel from her site. I didn't want to wait 3 weeks for the sale, then probably another 3-4 weeks after just to save a little less than $8.
